Proto-Yenisseian: *beʔjiŋ (~ w-)
Meaning: light
Ket: bejiŋ5
Yug: bejiŋ5
Comments: ССЕ 208. Let us also note Ket. beńśiŋ5 "lung" - a transparent compound of *beʔjiŋ + *seŋ lit. "light liver". Therefore a comparison with Sam. *wäjŋ- 'breath, soul' and, moreover, with an unattested *wäjŋ-sVn 'smth. with which one breathes' (Helimsky КС 240) is completely groundless. Werner 1, 120.
